Chapter Title: Learning Objects and Personal Learning Environments
Abstract
Web-based resources are challenging ideas about teaching and learning. Instructors can now invite their students to read conference papers online as they are being presented in real time. Audio recordings, video lectures, and images can be accessed using mobile phones as well as on the Internet. Learners can find their own sources of information, without vetting through the academic peer review process or textbook editorial direction. Learners can interact directly with subject matter experts; participate in forums through informal open online communities of interest; and have their questions answered and comments acknowledged without regard to professional credentials, affiliation, location, or origin.
This chapter examines technologies and ideas—learning objects and personal learning environments—that provide access to resources, enable the delivery of teaching, and facilitate learning. The authors focus on open education and open education resources (OER) initiatives to create and distribute these learning resources, and examine ways of adopting and learning from them. The chapter will address the full life cycle of open educational resources from development to the reuse of learning objects as personal learning environments and study guides.
